Hydraulic cranes were brought in to lift the 40-year-old trees, each weighing between 9 and 15 tons, and heavy duty trailers transported them to their new home. The Orange County Great Park Corporation says the five elms are now planted near a fire station on the old El Toro Marine Air Base.
This is said to be the largest tree rescue of its kind in the country.
